as evidenced here. Around 34 'demerits' on that page and 15-20 more previous comments. Thanks PerlJudi. How long before you delete this one? Spammers galore, but criticism is not tolerated here. Now we have censorship without the court order.

Little by little Slashdot continues to remove some of its better functions. I can no longer list all the journals on a single page which used to be, http://slashdot.org/journal.pl?op=list&uid=(user id).. and bit by bit the http://slashdot.org/users.pl is losing its usefulness also. The all important "Edit/Delete journals" isn't there any more... Changing tags is a pain in the ass... Bound to happen, I guess, as the bean counters take it deeper into the abyss. Just can't leave a good thing alone. Probably won't be long before comments will be deleted... That will mark the end

UPDATE: linked to source. And decided to throw in this choice quote.Marxists think we should be bossed by bureaucrats. Libertarians think we should be bossed by businessmen. Feminists don't care which form bossing takes so long as the bosses are women. Clearly these ideology-mongers have serious differences over how to divvy up the spoils of power. Just as clearly, none of them have any objection to power as such and all of them want to keep us working.

I swear, a couple of you guys read just like those morons over there at democratic underground, worshiping your party like a damn Reaganite praying to his picture on the wall. Well I got news for you all, under the present system, civil liberties, justice, respect for life, etc. etc. etc. is comatose, if not completely dead. It's well past time you people wake up. Tear yourselves away from your books for half a second and go see life in the street. Go outside and smell the stench of the bodies dumped in the underpass. Then, by all means, please dig them a grave and give them a decent burial. At the very least, keep your damn wars away from paradise. We don't need that shit.

Now, if you're just saying all this crap to manipulate the odds with your bookies, then I apologize in advance, but if you actually believe this stuff, then you are indeed an idiot, or worse.
